FISHING REPORT – WEEK ENDING 19/5/13
Last week 116 rods caught 466 fish for an average of 4 fish per rod.
The Fishery is in excellent form at the moment and most days saw tremendous hatches with lot of fish moving on all of the pools. The top of the water action has been excellent with Shipmans Buzzers, CDC Emergers and dry Olives accounting for plenty of fish. Damsels, Diawl Bach, small GRHE, Cats Whisker and orange Fritz have also been working well.
The biggest rainbow of the week was a 12½ lb fish caught by Nick Howarth of Nuneaton who was fishing from a boat on Great Pool and took this along with five others on a small Buzzers fished on a floating line. Jonathan Preston of Solihull took an 11lb 8oz rainbow on a small black Buzzer whilst fishing from the bank of Cocks Close. Alan Wooldridge of Solihull caught five and returned a further six on small Skinny Buzzers whilst fishing from the bank of Cocks Close with the best fish going 5lb 8oz. Baden Hollingworth of Sutton Coldfield caught six fish on green Buzzers whilst fishing from a boat on the Hall Pool.
Best areas are the old boat jetty and high bank on Cocks Close, the middle island to the dam wall on Great Pool and the cattle drink and dam wall on Hall Pool.
The Fishery is hosting a ‘Fishing for Heroes’ event on the 1st June. Anglers wishing to support this cause will be asked to find sponsorship to the value of £70.00 and the winner of the day will be invited to fish a grand final at Dever Springs later in the year.
The fishery opens at 8am and closes at dusk (9.30pm at the moment).
